Prediction R12 Changes vs Melbourne.

[MadMundy]

Johnson and Emmett out? Sturt and Frederick in?

I don't think anyone could be genuinely upset with those changes.

 

[mike91]

Johnson is finally dropped!!! Thank f**k

 

[FreoRicci]

Johnson out.

Didn't see that coming.

Was coming one way or another.
Amazing how it’s him and not say JOM.
Wouldn’t have minded Erasmus in Johnson’s spot

 

[apuchar]

Ugh. We are not a serious club.

yes we are.

 

[doppo]

Interesting Johnson is described as managed. Assuming that means no peel?

 

[Lach72]

Johnson and Emmett out? Sturt and Frederick in?

I can. If Johnson is sore, Fair enough, but Ras should play and Sonny should be at Peel

 

[Randomizor]

yes we are.

A serious club is ruthless and cuts the cooked players.

Jaegar has been good. Slowly building.

 

[Paracleet]

Banfield full game on the wing presumably.

nah a ruthless doesn't equal good though

good club = good decisions.

Walters should probably be out yes, but if Emmett goes out and Johnson gets a rest I'm not gonna complain.

I thought you were talking about Johnson.
Walters may get a better match-up with Freddie and Sturt both in the forwardline. Let's see.

Gets 3 weeks off from AFL, given it’s a bye next week.
Probably gets this week off and plays Peel next week

 

[FreoRicci]

Switkowski probably will be more on ball with Johnson out. He did very well in the last quarter in that role

Peel bye next week.

 

[apuchar]

Switkowski probably will be more on ball with Johnson out. He did very well in the last quarter in that role

Plus Jaeger could go in there on occasion if necessary.

 

[Randomizor]

Switkowski probably will be more on ball with Johnson out. He did very well in the last quarter in that role

That’d be ace

 

[Randomizor]

good club = good decisions.

Continuing to play cooked players is a good decision?

 

[The Feeder Club]

I quite like it as long as Wagner isn't the sub. We look more dynamic

 

[Randomizor]

No real issue with Johnson. Needs to learn how to take the first option.

If Walters is sub, that’d probably be ok. His slowness isn’t so pronounced when the rest of the field is on tired legs.

 

[FreoRicci]

Peel bye next week.

Again?! Honestly..

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Banfield full game on the wing presumably.

Good point, was wondering how they were planning on managing as I'm sure Wagner as sub makes most sense. Banfield to take Johnson role and Sturt and Waltera up front

 

[Purple Jesus]

Gleefully death riding Walters career is an interesting approach, that’s for sure.

 

[Randomizor]

Peel bye next week.

Is Peel ever not on a bye?

 

[Randomizor]

Gleefully death riding Walters career is an interesting approach, that’s for sure.

It’s a really strange situation for mine. We act like dropping Walters would mentally destroy him.

But the reason we ever had elite Walters is because the club was brutally honest with him about where he was at. And he didn’t drop his head, he went out and did what was required to be a pivotal piece of the squad.

It’s just weird that we seem to be babying the one player on our list that a bit of tough love has been proven effective on.
